conversation, and it's moreimportant around mental health.
It's important in health carewhere the culture has
traditionally been just pushingthrough, you know, staying
staying tough, not showingweakness. And, that's even more
amplified in my field in insurgery. But I'm I'm keen to

bring that into, you know,mental health. But, you know,
when we stay try to stay tough,you know, traditionally and keep
pushing through, the truth isthere's the emotional load
behind it.
They they keep building up.We're we're not robots when, I'm
sure you would agree with that.We experience, you know,

various, stress, various trauma.So So I guess courage in this
space probably means, you know,allowing to be human in an
environment that doesn't alwaysgive you that permission to do
that.
